Yes you can do 2" spacers and an AAL to get 2" an AAL will sag, adding a shackle onto that will make it sag faster. if you want 5" you can get 3" coils and 2" spacers for the front and then make an S10 bastard pack for the rear.

You will need to get new LCAs, extended brake lines, and there's a good chance you'll need to upgrade your steering for the larger tires along with an SYE and CV Driveshaft

Though the kit usually doesn't come with everything listed at first, it took me about 5 calls to get the whole kit. I ordered direct Idk how it would be through another company.

That company is known for not including everything listed and then giving ppl a hard time if they expect everything listed to be included(stupid logic I know)

I'll only ever buy direct or 2nd hand if I know what I'm getting
